Product Details

If you're looking to get more top-end power out of your Small Block Chevy with an OE roller camshaft, this COMP Cams Xtreme 4x4 hydraulic roller camshaft is a solid option. It's designed to wake up the upper RPM range of your engine, giving you that extra push when you need it. This camshaft fits a wide variety of vehicles from 1987 and newer, including popular models like the Chevrolet C1500, Camaro, and Buick Roadmaster, as long as they have the factory roller setup.

This isn't just a drop-in part; to really make this camshaft shine, you'll want to pair it with some supporting modifications. COMP Cams recommends using headers to help your engine breathe better, lower rear-end gears to keep you in the powerband, and a torque converter with at least a 2500 RPM stall speed to effectively transfer that improved power to the wheels. The hydraulic roller design means you get the performance benefits without the need for frequent valve adjustments, making it a more user-friendly choice for a performance build.

When installing this camshaft, remember it's intended for engines with factory roller lifters. It's a significant upgrade for your engine's breathing and power delivery, especially if you're aiming for a truck or muscle car build that sees a lot of time at higher RPMs. Make sure to check your specific vehicle's fitment to confirm compatibility.
